"Break Me Down"

This song says it like no other.  The emotions in these lyrics seem raw, yet buried right under the surface.  Put yourself in these shoes...ahh.

Song: "Break Me Down"

Sweet like a kiss sharp like a razor blade

I find you when I' m close to the bottom

You cant appreciate the time it takes

To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong

And as I'm putting out the flame

Somebody brings up you name

Oh oh oh oh

Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

Six AM unruffled pillow

Laughs out loud at my trusting heart

It's like I didn't see the penny

I missed the fountain by a couple yards

If you would only stay gone

Maybe I could move on

Oh oh oh oh

Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

OH! Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

Baby baby baby bring me down

I want to be right where you are

Baby baby baby bring me down

You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Break my heart

Bring me down...

"What About Georgia"

I feel like this song is my own secret.  I feel like the only one who has ever heard this song?!  I freaking LOVE it!  I became obsessed with this song on her album, learned to play it on guitar, performed it...the whole nine yards.  I have one complaint, that incredible drum thing thats the first 5 seconds needs to be the first two lines of the verse.  Like why would some boy run off from her?  Apparently so she could go on to write songs like this!  Oh, and she did it all by herself.

Song: "What About Georgia"

You draw it out like a highway 
With every word you'd say
Excuses for the answers that you lack
Your mama’s still the steady ground
you walk on every day
And your daddy’s still the monkey on your back
Did you find all you thought you’d find out in the wild, wild west
You took a little piece of home and you threw away the rest

You say you’re livin’ on the edge
and I think you’re hangin’ from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand
that wants to help you up
Are you the man you thought you’d be
by the time that you turned 33?
Are you still a bullet in your daddy’s gun?
Don’t forget boy you’re your mama’s only son
She’s at home and she’s been prayin' for ya
So what about Georgia?

I saw your sister yesterday
Austin’s five and on his way
Looking for some shoes that he can fill
He said that he’d be just like you
the coolest guy he ever knew 
And he’d find you when
he lost his training wheels
I looked in his big blue eyes
and I saw you again
He’s hungry for a life he ain't ready to begin

You say you’re livin’ on the edge
And I think you’re hangin’ from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand
That wants to help you up
Are you the man you thought you’d be
By the time that you turned 33?
Are you still a bullet in your daddy’s gun?
Don’t forget boy you’re your mama’s only son
She’s at home and she’s been prayin' for ya
So what about Georgia?

I guess you didn’t realize it’d take you quite this long
To figure out that being free is right where you belong

You say you’re livin’ on the edge
And I think you’re hangin’ from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand
That wants to help you up
HEY! Are you the man you thought you’d be
by the time that you turned 33?
Are you still a bullet in your daddy’s gun?
Don’t forget boy you’re your mama’s only son
She’s at home and she’s been prayin' for ya
So what about Georgia?

What about Georgia? yeah
What about Georgia Georgia? Yeah
What about Georgia?

"Love Is Looking For You"

Kerosene just has to be the most underrated Miranda Lambert work out there!  I got this CD for Christmas and I remember not being able to turn it off.  Every song could've been a single.  I almost wish she would go back to songs like this instead of tough woman, uptempo songs.  Songs like this are her strength.

Song: "Love Is Looking For You"


Maybe you're just jaded from some nobody's unforgotten words
Maybe you're just faded, a little gray from every time that you've been hurt
So you're lookin for your skin that you never did fit in
You can't hide when you're turned inside out
Love is looking for you now

Maybe you been burnin' but you can't blow out a flame that you can't find
Maybe you've been thirsty but the rain just aint enough when you're this dry
So you're runnin' from the water and the fire's getting hotter
I think you better find some lever ground
Love is lookin' for you now
Love is lookin' for you now

Maybe you been wearing the shoes that someone else is wearing now
Maybe you've been swearing forever might have already run out
You can't love yourself at the expense of someone else
You can't hide a liar from the truth
Love is lookin' for you
Love is lookin' for you

I've been looking for you
Baby I've been lookin.....
I've been looking for you
